I've about had it with my aging Taylor Made R5  8.5 Stiff.. The launch angle is too high, or I get way to much draw when I go with a more aggressive grip or stance..  It's the only club in the bag that gives me fits.. I hate to mess with my swing JUST for one club.. So....

I'm looking at going with a new driver that has adjustable settings..  How does the new Titleist 910 series stack up against the rest.??  I'm looking for first hand experience.. Any help would be great..

I struggled with my driver for months, so I booked a fitting with Titleist hoping that a swing change had altered the way the club reacted to my swing and a shaft change might help. I spent a good hour with the 445cc head. Not sure if thats the D2 or 3. On the range, I was hitting my driver well on this day and it didnt matter what shaft he threw in the Titleist, it was not longer than my, back then, MP600. They feel ok, but the shaft has a lot to do with that feel. I finally got a good launch with low spin but it was only 1-2yds longer than my 600 and not worth $560 for a new one. I tried not to mess with the open/closed options as that does not fix you swing issues. But if you fade or draw the ball with every shot, they can help to straighten you out. I now have a Callaway Octane Tour. Its the shit, but Im not convinced the PX shaft give is justice.

i highly rate my 910 driver. I have the same high launch ball flight and ocassionaly draw the ball hard when i go after it to much. I have my 9.5 driver set -0.75 degrees, and 0.75 degrees flat and it suites me perfectly.

The only thing to try out is the different heads. The d2 is the bigger head with more forgiveness and the d3 is slightly smaller but more workable. That said i opted for the d2 after back to back testing as i could work it just as much as the smaller headed one

I love my 910D3.  I tested it back to back with the D2 and liked the D3 better because I have a naturally high ball flight and even at 9.5* the D2 still went a tad high for me (the D2's COG is lower than the D3's hence the higher ball flight).  As noted, the D2 is theoretically more forgiving but less workable.  It has a bigger head (460cc vs. 445cc for the D3).

Prior to this I had a Razr Hawk (neutral, non-tour).  The Razr Hawk was probably longer overall but for me it was a left machine (square face) whereas the D3 is straighter for me and I'm more consistent with it.  And I can hit the D3 long enough for me (~250 - 260 yards on average).

    • I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
